Napoleon Says NO To Outsourcing, For Now

Napoleon coun­cil, after months of talk­ing about the pros and cons of it, has agreed not to out­source its city dis­patch ser­vices to Henry County.

Napoleon placed the issue on the May pri­mary elec­tion bal­lot seek­ing the opin­ion of vot­ers. The issue was defeated with 68 per­cent of vot­ers vot­ing against the out­sourc­ing of dis­patch oper­a­tions.

At this week’s meetin, coun­cil approved a motion stat­ing that at this time, they would not out­source police dis­patch oper­a­tions to the county. They did how­ever, leave the door open to fur­ther dis­cus­sion down the road.
